The point is that I bought the software, it still works, and ethically I should be able to continue using it on the computer I bought it for. My complaint is that I can't re-load my 2016 software even on my older imac (now that I'm cut off until the magic day comes).

Yes, I know that at some point Intuit will create a new version to work on Big Sur. Finally after these many AI responses, what appears to be human.

They (Intuit) should make that known to the purchaser. Different more reliable accounting program.įor those of you that do purchase Quickbooks 2021, that program will only run for 2 years. Only option is either to spend more money conveniently for Intuit, a nice revenue stream, or to find a more stable, reliable solution. Quickbooks, Intuit, Turbotax while at one time great have turned into hacks and will continue to lose their customer base.įor those users of Quickbooks 2016 there will never be an update to work on Big Sur. All other software updates from Apple, Adobe, and a half dozen other companies provide free and timely updates and those systems all work perfectly just as we purchased them to do. I have been running the same programs on MacBook Pro since 2013. An update that will only last 2 to 3 years before forcing another software update. This is a business model that Quickbooks follows, forcing either a monthly subscription or spending $500 on a software update. So let me provide you with some information. The 2015 and earlier versions won't run because of Catalina and Big Sur won't allow them to launch as Apple stopped supporting their previously recommended memory management scheme. So make sure you have the latest version of 2016 as we updated it to support that.

Sometime during the 2016 version's life Apple stopped supporting a form of memory management that the application used (this occurred in the Catalina macOS release). But the 2016 version may run on Big Sur - you should first upgrade it to the most recent version or try re-installing it. The 2016 and earlier versions are no longer supported. There's no charge for any of this but you do need a valid 2019, 2020 or 2021 license. If QB won't launch (because you installed Big Sur before updating QB) then you can download the current 2019, 2020, and 2021 from Intuit's download site. The updates are free - just run QuickBooks->Check for Updates from within QuickBooks. The latest versions of QuickBooks Desktop for Mac 2019, 2020, and 2021 are all compatible with Big Sur. Saw this thread continues so I'll post again.
